Foxboro, Mass. – The Rockies aren’t the only woeful road team in town.
The Rapids’ road winless streak reached 13 games, six in this Major League Soccer season, with a 0-0 tie with the New England Revolution, which extended its unbeaten streak to nine matches.
The Eastern Conference-leading Revolution (6-0-3) had eight corner kicks, including five in the second half, but was unable to score on Colorado goalkeeper Joe Cannon. New England is 4-0-1 at home and has not given up a goal at Gillette Stadium.
The Revolution had its best scoring chance in the 43rd minute, when Cannon deflected Taylor Twellman’s shot from close range.
Colorado (2-7-2) missed on its best scoring chance three minutes into the second half, when Kyle Beckerman’s shot deflected off the post.
The Rapids played a man down for the final 10 minutes after Guy Melamed was given a red card.
The Revolution played without starters Steve Ralston and Clint Dempsey, who were playing for the United States in an exhibition match against England on Saturday in Chicago.
The Rapids have a bye next weekend before returning to MLS regular-season action June 11 against the Columbus Crew.
